Who was in charge of the sounds/music? And the fucking animation... and everything.

I don't understand how you can be tasked with making TWO MINUTES of animation and mess it up that badly. Every undergraduate in a 3D aniamtion program ends up making a 10+ minute project by the end of the year which looks and sounds better than that.

Anyway about the video, I thought it was hilariously Jewish how they had her blocking the shittily-drawn laserblasts with browser security features. Also funny: the 'racy' transformation scene where she's naked for 0.2 seconds and it's hidden. All the boring scriptage of a transformation scene with none of the exciting fanservice! How fun!

I don't think Japan minds being very obviously marketed to. I was thinking about making a thread about this, actually.

It's like Japanese otaku are saying to advertisers, "We know you're selling a product, just give us cute girls!" and the companies are saying, "We will give you cute girls as long as you buy our products!"
There's less of a knee-jerk anti-corporate reaction like in the West.

IE is a decent browser in terms of performance, but the lack of customization kills it for me.

There's also the issue that you are restricted to IE8 on older operating systems, which is very limited in terms of it's HTML5 capabilities. If you're still running XP or Vista, IE is a pretty bad browser.

Personally I want to see what Windows 8-tan ends up looking like. I haven't seen any consensus on her, yet.

[Anonymous No.]

I feel like Microsoft has completely missed the point of OS-tans and other net characters. There's a reason nobody uses their "official" ones.

It's supposed to be a community effort. Trying to cash in on it like this is like if Apple said, "Hey kids! Mac User Mike is the latest meme! Go to Meme Generator and come up with your own Mac User Mike images ... the best ones might even be featured on our site!"

Azumanga Daioh and Lucky Star weren't funny. Maybe you can chalk this up to cultural differences (most Japanese comedy isn't funny), but there were no jokes or anything. It was all talking about food, acting out stereotypes, and the occasional misunderstanding.

Honestly, they now remind me of The Big Bang Theory. "I'm singing and doing cooking wrong!" Okay? Where's the joke? "If I had to pick a favorite manga, it'd be Sgt. Frog!" Right, that's a reference, but references aren't jokes. Comedy doesn't have to rely on gags, but it should at least be funny. I feel like the only people (at least Westerners) who found either series funny were doing it just to be wapanese. "Haha, Timotei! I had to look that up, but now it's as funny as Family Guy!"

Holy shit it's almost like opinions are subjective. Up until now I thought nobody in the world liked those shows or found them funny, thanks for enlightening me.

I'll rephrase that since you obviously have some sort of disorder:
In my opinion, both shows are not funny.
I usually have quite a high tolerance for different types of comedy (I can even find The Big Bang Theory funny, it had some decent gags and situations) but neither of those shows made me laugh even once. Actually, I didn't even cringe, I just didn't get it. I'm just speculating that a lot of people are in the same boat as me, but because they're weeaboos they pretend to like them.
For those of you who are fans of these shows, do you disagree? I mean, plenty of Lucky Star idiots now make "Timotei" jokes even though that advertisement never aired in the West, and the people making those jokes obviously had to look it up. It's funny because it's Japanese!

>people don't only watch cartoons for jokes.

But it's a comedy series, or at least it's supposed to be.

The Simpsons is a comedy series and it blends humor with character development, real plots and drama. Neither Azumanga Daioh nor Lucky Star has any of these. Even post-season-10 Simpsons at least has gags.

Actually, I'll give you that. Lucky Channel had some funny parts, mostly because it was actual satire rather than just "I AM AN OTAKU AND I HAVE SEEN THIS CARTOON".

Azumanga Daioh had nothing at all. Just teenage girls living their daily lives and being slightly ditzy.
